Poll: Like you're 12 again ...

[mrs.jacinthe]

What words/phrases are you unable to hear without giggling (either internally or out loud) like a 12-year-old?

For me: stool.  Gets me every time.

[wawa]

Sack.

Also Muff.

[thewop]

We have a vendor code in our system- PNI. For me that = Peni...short for penis. Yeah, I'm dumb.

[sratsey]

You're so funny. H can't hear the word STOOL without cracking up either.
Last week I was telling him about the counter stools I bought for the kitchen and I had to give up because I couldn't even get through a sentence.

[mrs.jacinthe]

R has trouble with "chunk" - every time I use it, he'll interrupt and go "YOU SAID CHUNKS!" LOL

sratsey - I'm seriously giggling about you buying counter stools. I'm such a dork.

That was pretty much how it went...
"Do you like this fabric or that one for the stools?"
{smirks...stifles a giggle}
"GROW UP! Which one?"
"For what?"
"What do you mean for what"
"Fabric for what?"
"Fabric for the STOOLS"
{laughs uncontrollably}
"I give up"

He had no say in the fabric and I'm CERTAIN when they arrive, the sentence "those are the stools?" will end up the same way.

Crazy. This is a 45 year old man.

Oh, and has anyone seen the movie Supertroopers? Ok, remember in the beginning where Ramathorn asks the pot head how fast he was going and he replies "65?" and then Ramathorn says "63" and the kid is all confused. Ok, if anyone says 65 , the H and I can't help but reply 63. Again, I'm a weirdo. If you've never seen that movie, I sound like even more of a nutcase. Sweet.

Um, and any time someone mentions San Diego I can't help but think "A whale's vagina". Thanks Ron Burgundy.

I can't say the word candybars like a normal person.

Which led my MIL and all her sisters to think I was INSANE when we played that candy in the diaper game at my baby shower and I suddenly growled, "Candybarrrrsss!"

Everybody my age laughed though.

[mrs.jacinthe]

Oh, and one more. APPARENTLY I say the word "booger" funny. (Fortunately, not a word I use often in polite conversation.) So all my close friends and R will try to manipulate me into saying it - just for their own giggles. There's nothing like realizing you've been duped into saying booger because all your friends have started to laugh uncontrollably. *sigh*

We use Bona on our hardwood floors.

Yeah, we get pretty immature when it's time to mop in our house.

I never thought of that one, but that just made me laugh.

Caulk... but everyone pronounces it cock and I can't help but snicker. My husband makes fun of me because I pronounce it caulk like it's spelled.

[lolc]

Erect. "Stand erect" or "they erected a building" or Erector set.  Or the word Woody - I swear I hear Beavis & Butthead in my head when or if I hear those words in reference to anything.

LOL!!

DH quotes SuperTroopers all the time. And I'm the same way about candybars, I do the same thing!!! LOL.

I also still regularly make references (or quote from or mimc scenes from):
Old School, Not Another Teen Movie, Mean Girls, Step Brothers, Scary Movie, Austin Powers, Dumb & Dumber, Forrest Gump, Anchorman, Meet the Parents, and Office Space.

My mom pronounces the L in Caulk too. It always makes me smile because I know she just doesn't want to say cock.

I have only heard it pronounced without the L on tv. 

Maybe the pronunciation thing is regional or something? I have lived in the SW and West Coast only, and never heard it without the L until I watched This Old House.lol
